When Tumbling The Index Finger Got Bruised. The Bruise Color Changed. Have Bump On The Knuckle. Swollen. Suggestions?

I am a competitive cheerleader so I tumble alot, one night I was tumbling and my index finger knuckle got a bit bruised looking and than the next day the bruising color was gone but then it had a clear bubble like a bump on my knuckle, I thought it was like a bug bite so I left it alone and the next day it was kind of swollen so I iced it but it didn't do anything and when I bend my knuckle it is uncomfortable.

hi,
It seems that you got some infection due to injury in your knuckle.
Take one antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Give rest to local part for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
